I have been trying to research Media Mail recently. I have come across a lot of conflicting answers and I don't feel like I've found the answer to my question.
If you do a quick google search for what qualifies for Media Mail shipping rates you get a list that looks like:
- Books (at least 8 pages).
- Sound recordings and video recordings, such as CDs and DVDs.
- Play scripts and manuscripts for books, periodicals, and music.
- Printed music.
- Computer-readable media containing prerecorded information and guides or scripts prepared solely for use with such media.
- Sixteen millimeter or narrower width films.
- Printed objective test materials and their accessories.
- Printed educational reference chart.
- Loose-leaf pages and their binders consisting of medical information for distribution to doctors, hospitals, medical schools, and medical students.
I'm not sure what qualifies as an eligbile DVD or recording because I have also read other posts including ones from this forum that give conflicting reports on what exactly will qualify as an eligible DVD. I also haven't found much information specifically regarding Blu-Ray and Media Mail.
Do Blu-Ray discs qualify as eligible "Media"?
Some conflicting things I can't confirm that I've read about Media Mail and what qualifies:
The media, specifically sound and video recording, must possess a copyright as well as a liscense to use the product.
The item(s) being shipped must be in bulk and you cannot ship one item with Media Mail.
Advertising can't be sent via Media Mail.
Only educational material qualifies as Media Mail.
Essentially my questions are can I use Media Mail to ship one factory sealed Disney Blu/Ray DVD combo and does it contain advertising?
